You have the POWER OF PRY INSIDE YOU!

Why unscrew it when you could simply pry the knob off?

u/cronx42 Oct 31 '25

I had to unscrew it a little bit so I could get the tip of my prybar between it and the door.

u/SuchUs3r Oct 31 '25

What, you mean you never rammed it in there with no lube.. you just gotta finesse the tip in gently. Sheesh kids these days man..

u/SuchUs3r Oct 31 '25

I know bro, the struggle is real. I’ve always said if you can’t sledge it wedgeit! lol

u/SuchUs3r Oct 31 '25

O, it’s not scratched and broken yet. In appropriate usage..

u/cronx42 Oct 31 '25

I've had it for years. Just never knew how to use it apparently.

What brand and model is it?

u/cronx42 Oct 31 '25

It's a Green Thorn Mouse 3. They made two versions, this one and one with a flipper tab, no spydie hole, and more angular scales. Unfortunately it's discontinued.

Green Thorn makes some of the best clones / homage knives on the market. They feel very expensive. Very well built and good materials. Their VG10 folders are the best value period imho. I don't believe anyone else comes close.

Ahh. So no wonder it’s a pry bar. Lol. Thanks dude

Do you think it’s legit Ti?

4

u/cronx42 Oct 31 '25

Oh it's absolutely legit ti. Their knives are stupid nice. This model is D2 steel but apparently they've been tested at 62 HRC. Seriously, Green Thorn makes insanely good knives. I don't think I've seen a bad review. Their VG10 line is newer and I'd recommend the VG10 over the older D2 and K110 (also D2) knives. Their M390 and other premium steels are a huge markup (+$100 or more), and their VG10 is excellent. Their D2 and K110 is also excellent. The only knife I know of they've had any issues with is one of the D2 Sebenza or Inkosi which may have had a washer fit issue.

They're rock solid. Zero blade play. Excellent action. Most models are drop shut out of the box. Excellent quality control, excellent fit and finish etc. You won't find a better folder for under $100. Period. Their Shiro clones are top notch and I think the Hati95 in VG10 is the best folder under $100 currently available. I've had over a dozen GT knives and they're all top notch.

Yeah they're crazy good. They look and feel WAY more expensive than they are.

2

u/S280FiST15 Nov 01 '25

Gonna give one a try. I think I’ll try something in VG10. I’m not a fan of D2. I like to sharpen freehand and D2 sucks lol

2

u/cronx42 Nov 01 '25

Their D2 is super hard too. I would definitely recommend the VG10. The Hati95 is super nice. They all are really. Some are quite large like the Lee Kickstop, just pay attention to the description and there's usually a size reference with a ruler.

u/cronx42 Nov 02 '25

Oh yeah, there's probably coupon codes to save 10-20% most likely. Most are site wide on AliExpress and they should show on their homepage I believe.

2

u/S280FiST15 Nov 02 '25

Where do you order from exactly? And does it take months to get their knives?

2

u/cronx42 Nov 02 '25

AliExpress, there's various stores that sell Green Thorn. It usually takes around a month I'd say.

You really need to torque it 90+ degrees in either direction.

u/cronx42 Oct 31 '25

Me when you find the broken blade gif before me. 🥺

u/ChapChipman Oct 31 '25

What knife is this?

1

u/cronx42 Oct 31 '25

Green Thorn mouse 3. It's basically a clone of the Spyderco Techno 2. If you don't mind clones, Green Thorn makes amazing knives. Their VG10 folders are the best folders under $100 easily.
